Hello, If you are a DDi member and would like to be in the BETA, make sure your Communication are Opted and give your name here.

OP will be updated periodically with the list of people interested in participating in the BETA and will be provided to the staff in charge of the Program.

This doesn't guarantee you will be invited. Its a focus on Who's really interested. But i believe that 30+ target invites will be better than 150+ random one. Knowing that rounds of invites are pushed back but people may individually be invited, i want to try refocus.

And in the meantime if you get an Invite, please to let us here know so your name can be removed from the list.

@Plague: School budget is tight, but I can manage a 1 month sub to start. I'm doing it primarily for the VT, so I would rather sign up when the invites are ready to go out. Has Wizards given any hints as to when the next round is going out?

1.5 million people die each year as a result of not having clean drinking water. That is about 3 people every minute of every day. How long did it take you to write that post? And you're getting this upset over a game?

IMO their next move should be to make it a full open beta (any member). More rounds of invites seems like a waste of time. Just bite the bullet.

"Just bite the bullet" as in don't pay anything and wait it out and hope for open beta or "Just bite the bullet" as in pony up the money for the one month subscription? I do appreciate your theories, but I would rather hear something a little more concrete and official, particularly since I am on a pretty tight budget. I want to get the most I can out of the 1 month subscription in case the following month I am not able to pay.

Nope they havent give any date, only saying to PM Josh with people's name.

I meant WotC should "bite the bullet" and skip any future rounds of "invites" and just open it up.

ooh... does this mean that its finally getting into beta testing phase???

Woot!!! i can cancel my MMO's and go back to DDI again!!!!

this was the whole reason i decided to even try DnD again!!!

It's been in BETA for a while now. This is a list to get interested persons into the BETA quicker than waiting for a 'random' invite.

The invites aren't totally random. You have to be part of DDi, for one thing. Second you have to opt in for them, and fill out the, I'm interested in being a beta tester form.

They pick some people at random from DDi, but the majority of people they pick randomly from those that opted in and said they are interested. But if you aren't part of DDi NOW, you won't get in the beta.

He has 'random' in quotes because he realizes exactly that.

You do know the VT isn't anything like MMO, I hope.

You do know that he has not even come remotely close to making any kind of comparison, I hope. He's freeing up time to play DnD by not playing MMO's.

I have been patiently waiting to get in to the beta for quite some time, and would love to get added to the list. I currently use MapTools and while it works, would love to switch over to a product that fully integrates the character builder.

I would love to get in on this. Main factor I started playing DnD again when 4e was first released a few years ago was the talk of a virtual tabletop. Very excited for when this is out officially... but a beta invite would be really nice too

Everyone who's posted here so far has been added to the beta group. You can access that at community.wizards.com/dndbeta. From there you can find instructions on how to access the beta in the group forums and wiki.

i would love to be considerd for beta tester, summers nearly over but the campaine im running is still in full swing would love to be able to keep going with it over my next year in collage. name Joe L

if theres still some random invites going out to DDI members then come September i will be a DDI subscriber again, i only popped in once in a blue moon since we switched over to the new forum style... had no clue till i saw this though.

hope it uses the same map types as the Magic the gathering tactics game, from what i have seen of this... the VTT could be one hell of an asset to the community!!

wonder if its gonna be like what they showed on that $8k touchscrean program with the multiple user's and stuff... if so, it could be the time to upgrade to a tablet!! ( hurry up tablet makers, gimme at least a 15" for under $500 that rocks!)
